Portugal1 is gaining on us

[vaughan]

Hi there team mates. Just thought I'd warn you that team Portugal1 is closing in on us. I need a hand on this project. It is very easy to run and doesn't tax the system much.

[em99010pepe]

I will help you. Running 7 instances in one machine. :shock:

Hi to all,

Do you want to try Chessbrain for a few days? It is possible to run multiple instances in one machine. Right now i'm using 7 instances in my 1,1Ghz/256MB.

Team Stats (http://mag.chessbrainstats.com/allteams.php?start=0&limit=100)

1º - Create new account

http://www.chessbrain.net/member/new_account.php

2º - Download client

http://www.chessbrain.net/downloads.html

3º - Install client and registration

Find the PeerNode client. That's the program with the icon shown on the right. Activate the program by clicking on the icon or program title bar.

Next, go to the program File menu and select the Register menu item (as shown on the right).

The registration dialog is used to register your client program.

If you have already registered at: http://www.chessbrain.net/member then you may simply enter your registered email address and press the Submit button. Make sure to do this inside of the program on a dialog box that looks like the one shown on the right!

4º - Multiple instances

First delete or move your chessbrain agent from start menu. Then go to your chessbrain folder installation and create a shortcut to cbpncli.exe. Add in the command line or target line the following command:

"C:\Program Files\ChessBrain DeskTop\cbpncli.exe" 0,

0 means that will run invisible but visible in task menu.

One shortcut means one instance. In my case i have 7 shortcuts to cbpncli.exe.
If you have 1024MB you can run up to 20 or more instances.

Tried 3 times now and still get :

Error #9001 Session is invalid. Please login again.


So bollox.

[chaz]

How much RAM does it use? It has been some time since I ran it, has there been a new client release at all? If I remember correctly I think 512mb was adequate for a dozen clients, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise I'll have to find out the hard way, which is not fun with multiple machines.

I think 4MB/instance. In your case you could try running 10 instances.

k, thanks, reinstalling now. (fingers crossed)

Hmmm, interesting, thanks again.
Lets see what the ole' dually can do(since the MPX chipset isnt worth beans on any other project). I'll start Her with 25, will she fly, or will she die? Any bets? lol

You're going to fly.

[chaz]

I dont know, the old girl has crunched alot for me, and runs hot as all getup. But we'll see. Running 2 2400's modded for SMP and a bit of an overclock, in addition to the CPU's close proximity makes for a real heatbox.

[Ototero]

Watching Pamela makes for a real heatbox :roll: ;)

[em99010pepe]

Chaz,

3.50 billion nodes in five hours. :shock:
I made 0.29 billion nodes. :cry:

Happy to give a hand!!

[bwhite]

If I should drop off for a day or 2 it's because I lost my internet connection due to tropical storm. I live kinda at the end of the line so if I loose internet I'm the last to have services restored. :-(

[nickth]

count me in thats 14 clients running on my two comps :D

[em99010pepe]

Right now I'm trying 8 clients. I only have 256MB of memory!

[vaughan]

Thanks team - wow what a difference :shock:

[BC]

I can't get an account created.... #9001 errrors like Stu..


Any Suggestions?


Chuck

[Ototero]

I've tried on 2 computers, with IE and Firefox. I've emailed Chessbrain, but no reply, WTF.

ok,,, thanks... I was beginning to think something was wrong with my XP...


question: this thing is moving so fast, which # is the one to watch as it scrolls by???


Chck

[em99010pepe]

You both can try using my email.

[BC]

Check your Chessbrain account and please tell me if this thing is making any progress.... I don't know what is what.... it looks like 9 million nodes since my first post, but I don't really know what to look at.

It's working.

Working well???? It's over 10 million and climbing....

should I just minimize it now??


this is a new one for me.... I see it takes about 2-3 meg here.... and it's not interfering with D2OL aparantly at all.

[em99010pepe]

You can minimize it. Just a tip:

4º - Multiple instances

First delete or move your chessbrain agent from start menu. Then go to your chessbrain folder installation and create a shortcut to cbpncli.exe. Add in the command line or target line the following command:

"C:\Program Files\ChessBrain DeskTop\cbpncli.exe" 0,

OK, he's my stupid question of the day, Carlos, what is your email address please??

[em99010pepe]

Stu,

Carlos *** OWES *** us for this one...... :lol:

He's got some serious whorsepower now!!!!!


Chuck

[Ototero]

Carlos,

It still won't work.

I get the same error.

Chuck, how did you resolve your logon issue to Chessbraindead ?

[BC]

Carlos,

Chuck, how did you resolve your logon issue to Chessbraindead ?

No, I still get #9001.... but since it's central US time... it's only 6am there..... they're still sleepin' :)

Carlos,
How we doin? I am showing 200 million-something and 28 total jobs.... is that good???




Chuck

[Ototero]

Right now I've got 3 instances going.

But only 1 peer node client visible.

There are 3 cbpncli's running so far.

[Ototero]

Are any of you looking at real time stats, not delayed.

[BC]

Are any of you looking at real time stats, not delayed.

I don't hav eany way of looking at real-time, but I do know it spends a LOT of time idle...... like it's waiting for a job to download or something..... then it hauls butt ... i've seen a number of check-mates go by already.

[Ototero]

I've got 20 cli's running, and no system degradation ;)

[BC]

I've got 20 cli's running, and no system degradation ;)

*EDIT* I only have the 1 running right now *END EDIT* it's about 5 hours past bedtime for me... but easy day today anyway... when I am more coherent, I will follow the procedure and move stuff over and create services to run in the background (I have the MS tools).

*edit 2 - final edit * also running D2OL as well.

Carlos... your stats just turned blue.... that a good sign??????

[BC]

If Stu can run 20... and I had about 14x the horsepower when both of us were running one, how many should I run? 100?

I have 1 Gig of dual-channel ram in this..... seems the network is the holdup while it gets jobs.... true?


take your time responding... I am going to rest again... have P.T. at noon.

Cheers,
Chuck

[em99010pepe]

If you have 1GB you can run more than 20 clients. It's nomal not having work for long peridos so it is not a network problem. That's why this program is good to run with others.

By running a lot of clients you minimize idle times.

You guys are doing well. In my stats I/you can see your computers running. Mine is invisible, don't ask me why. That problem is being solved by Carlos Justiniano. I have 3 machines: Machine#1: NEW-X, Machine#2: taunus and my invisible.

Stu better look out.... I still have the agent up.... (assumed that required), but the other 9 are now running independent.... with the '0" argument....

LOL



Better DUCK Stu!!!

LOL


Cheers,
Nite,
Chuck

[em99010pepe]

Right now I'm winning. You both only gave me a total of 0.50 billion nodes of the total 20.60 billion. ;)

[Ototero]

Where r u seeing the stats.



and


Chuck, u stay away from me........................

[Anonymous]

well, do you have D2OL running too?????

and only 10 ChessBrains???

I have my priority but am answering the call for help.

My problem is I don't get the network feed fast enough to keep the CPU busy.

[Ototero]

Wimps, I'm running D2OL + 25 brains, so there....

[Anonymous]

There's your 1 billion nodes.... and I still don't have enough to keep it busy.... the server is too slow...


just go tup to take meds

laters

[Ototero]

Guys, I borrowed the amd users graphics from this site.

If I'm not allowed (copyright stuff) then I'll deleted it.

Carlos, where are you getting your stats from??

[em99010pepe]

I'm only running ChessBrain.
Stats from here (http://mag.chessbrainstats.com/allteams.php?start=0&limit=100) and here (http://www.chessbrain.net/member/).

[Ototero]

Thanks,

I really need my own login :cry:


(I'm a 3 star member now) :cool:

[Beerknurd]

You a 3 star member now..... But 6th in Ubero.... ;)

[BC]

Where r u seeing the stats.

Chuck, u stay away from me........................




Stu, I took the day off from ChessBrain, You caught up yet??

[BC]

Chessbrain won't let me log in..... would someone PM me the login??


Thanks,
Chuck

[Ototero]

Beerknurd,


You a 3 star member now..... But 6th in Ubero.... Wink


:puke: :bootyshake: :ahole: LOL


Now join us on D2OL or Chessbraindead. HEHEHE

[Ototero]

Chuck,

Carlos lent me his login, you should ask him if you can *borrow* it as well.

[BC]

I have been using it.... and even after being offline and down 2:1 on CPU time and Jobs..... you will see I am 740 jobs away from you... but read my PM. (coming shortly).


Thanks,
Chuck

[Beerknurd]

Well I quit Ubero..... Unless Ototero starts running it again.... I'm running D2OL. I have 2 nodes going. I should average at least 190 per day. It's not much but I only have 1 computer...... :-(

190 is 190.... every bit helps when we're out to gain and get within the top 10....

[Beerknurd]

Tomorrow i'm getting a gateway 800mghz P3 from my parents. I will probably download 2000 files and take it offline. It probably won't have internet access for a while. But even if it only pumps out 80 a day it will help a little....

[jlangner]

Chessbrain works well with D2OL, but set Priority one notch above D2OL, then it will run when it needs to. FYI if this has already been posted sorry, didn't want to read all 5 pages again. lol.

[BC]

To augment that ...... I have found that starting CB instances 30 seconds apart at below normal gives the best results and Windows gets it all in balance the fastest. Perhaps a batch job is in order to launch CB in the startup ??? Or we could make a service that launches as many instances as is configured and at a specific interval.....

I have the MS tools.... anyone who wants them can have them....

you can make any program a service and give any username you wish 'run as service' privs easily....as well as removal of both.


Chuck

[em99010pepe]

Today we passed the 2000 billion nodes mark. Great job guys.

[Ototero]

Carlos, I stuck another couple of machines on your account today. (I found the IP address to get through the company firewall :lol: )

They're only lowly Intel machines, cough, splutter, puke, cough....

But they all help.

Thanks Stuart. :thumbleft: Right now I'm only running D2OL.

[Ototero]

Yes, but that was in addition to them running D2OL as well :)

[Ototero]

Carlos,

I've added 2 more machines to your email address 3 days ago. But they don't show up in the stats.

The only one of mine I do see is XP-NEW :cry:

Stuart,

Open a command prompt and type in:

ipconfig /flushdns

I don't know if that is going to work. If not re-install the software.

Carlos

[Ototero]

These machines are at work, but I got them through the firewall. They are communicating ok.

And they say they are registered :)

My machine wasn't registered and I had to reinstall the software...It's a program bug.

[Ototero]

OK, I've re-done that.

I'll check later to see if they are done.

p.s. Did you enjoy your time in the N-J forum :?: :)

[gamer007]

I cant get it to work. I keep getting "Searching for route to SuperNode server..." Then it says ''Unable to locate route, will try again later..."

EDIT: Nevermind, found whats the problem.

[jlangner]

Server maybe down or no work available. lol. - However just checked mine and they seem to be chugging along.

[vaughan]

gamer007 you sometimes get that message. I usually do a some PC maintenance like Disk Cleanup, Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy and Defrag then re-boot of Windows and let ChessBrain try to connect again. If the first instance of the peernode client starts to get work, I start multiple instances of CB by clicking on the cbpncli.exe file in C:\Program Files\ChessBrain DeskTop\cbpncli.exe (I have a desktop shortcut now).
I start these, as em99010pepe suggested at approx 30s intervals. I usually run 8 (favourite number) but have tried 24 without problems. I change them from 'idle' to 'below normal' using IARSN's TaskInfo2002.

[Beerknurd]

Tomorrow i'm getting a gateway 800mghz P3 from my parents. I will probably download 2000 files and take it offline. It probably won't have internet access for a while. But even if it only pumps out 80 a day it will help a little....

I got my gateway hooked up today and damn is it slow. Compared to my P4 this thing freakin crawls.... 800mhz compared to 3.4ghz is a huge diffrence. But I have it offline with 2000 downloaded. I will upload them once I get enough processed. But at this rate it will be about 3 weeks... LOL. Damn this thing is slow......

[vaughan]

Portugal's gaining again. :-( At least I'm 15th now. :)

[vaughan]

We only need a couple more PCs on this and we can hold them off. It only uses about 40Kb of RAM and only connects on average 1 in 3 minutes, when it does its only for a few seconds, traffic / bandwidth usage is low. When it is processing it sucks all CPU cycles but only briefly.
Please help.

[bwhite]

OK

I'll put some back on it. :thumbleft:
